So this morning I went into our food locker for my daily bowl of Apple Jacks or Frosted Flakes, but all that was left was Special K (ugh!).  I was actually pretty hungry as breakfast has become the defacto start to my day lately.  Next to the cereal was the unadorned brown and green plastic boxes that are known military wide as mermites, and despised just as widely. 

For those who don’t know mermites are big insulated plastic boxes that hold food either warm or or cold.  They make eggs turn green and hard, toast go soft, and for some reason one always contains gravy, no matter what the meal is.  Anyway, this mornings mermites included french toast, eggs, bacon and sausage, and gravy.  I grabbed a plate and helped myself to some french toast and bacon.
